Beautiful hidden gem. Fantastic picnic spots along river. Tea, coffee and maggie available in the cafe. Some people are swimming here since the water is clean and shallow. Just beware of the rocks under your feet.

Jatson is a hidden paradise set aside the river Indus overlooking the beautiful mountains, glaciers , snow covered peaks , expansive sky’s, willow trees, meadows . Like the seven Colors of the rainbow (jatson) , this place gives you all seven elements to witness the rainbow of your heart. To see the rainbow of one’s heart, one needs to visit Jatson Indus cafe. Also, this place is amidst a fragile ecosystem. So, please respect the surroundings and do refrain from thrashing the place. Try not to carry plastics here and always carry a water bottle of your own. Please be a responsible tourist first.

However known to less as connecting road is not metalled and it's seems little remote but only 1km from shey palace. No other cafe has a view of indus like this one have must visit this place. Sunrise and sunset time is best to visit place. May not get all food items here But will surely love to have a tea,cofee or maggi with mesmerizing view of indus.
